"Fox Atomic has officially ceased production on its remake of Revenge of the Nerds, which the division had hoped to release next summer, reports Variety.

The project was put on hold earlier this month after two weeks of filming when Emory University in Atlanta, where the film was scheduled to shoot, decided not to participate in the film.

According to the trade, another issue was that Fox Atomic's Peter Rice was not completely satisfied with the dailies and that the film felt smaller than the kind of pic he's aiming to release from Atomic, the teen-oriented label launched last year"

Finally a remake that is actually NOT happening!

Good news. The original still holds up well enough for there to be no need for a remake. Though I probably would have gone to see this one.

Thank god. And not only should the original which was great not be made, it shouldnt have been made by some guy named McG

[font=century gothic]There was a teaser poster for this right? Kind of like the Superman/Tim Burton movie.

I'm glad it's scrapped, but it wouldn't surprise me if we see it in theaters in a few years.[/font]

Wow that'll probably be a big collector's item huh? What was the teaser poster for the Nicolas Cage/Tim Burton Superman movie?

Heard this a few days ago, good.

[font=century gothic]I can't find the original poster. It was a picture of a silver "S" and below that said "Summer 1997" (Or '98, I forget). Just to give you and idea though, here is some concept art for what Superman was supposed to look like.



I don't care what anyone says about the new Superman film seeing as this is what might have happened.[/font]

Yikes, he looks like he got assimilated by the Borg.
